Hi, I’ve just booted to Manjaro 21.1.6 on a bootable USB drive on my old MacBook Pro. Everything seems to be running ok, except that the WiFi is not working. In “Networks”, WiFi is enabled, but it shows the message “No available connections.” When I try to run the Manjaro Linux 21.1.6 “Pahvo” installer, it shows me the following message:
This computer does not satisfy some of the recommended requirements for installing Manjaro 21.1.6. Installation can continue, but some features might be disabled.
! The system is not connected to the Internet.
(I’m currently connected to my WiFi network on my main laptop running macOS Big Sur with no problems, and there are many WiFi networks available.)
I will try to provide as much relevant information as I can. If more information is necessary, please let me know, and please explain how I can find that information (please excuse my level of noob).
